Well, that didn't do it.  Even before getting to the roundcube app, the
blue menu ("Select Language", "About" and "Log in") is down, covering the 
first app icon (bepasty), and it cannot be pulled up.  Tapping on the
little square to the right with 3 horizontal lines does nothing but make
the border thicker.  The menu that can't be pulled up and doesn't
disappear after tapping "Log in" obscures about the top 1/3 of the
screen.

I'll look into that.  Thanks.
